The current is the flow of electrons.

Temperature is the movement of atoms.

As the current increases there is more collisions between the atoms and the electrons. Some of the energy from the electrons is transferred to the atoms, thus they move faster and so the temperature increases.

Does the current ina circuit increase with increase in temperature?

Resistance increases as temperature increases. If Voltage is held constant then according to Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance then current would decrease as resistance increases.

What happens if the temperature of a diode increases?

When the amount of current passing through a circuit increases, it generally increases the temperature, and consequently the resistance. Simply stated, it is harder for the current to pass through the circuit if the temperature increases. The Large Hadron Collider uses superconductors to pass current to its electromagnets. A superconductor passes current through its circuit materials with almost no resistance at all, generally by supercooling the circuit materials.


What is the effect of temperature on leakage current?

Flow of current in the collector circuit produces heat at the collector base junction. This increases the temperature. More minority carriers are generated in base collector region, since more bands are broken,the leakage current increases. In other word, leakage current increase when temperature increase.


If pressure is constant and current increases the resistance?

I assume you meant pressure to voltage. The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. If the temperature of the conductor increases due to increased current, then the resistance tend to increase too.

What is the source of leakage current in a transistor?

The current of the minority charges (collector region) is the source of the leakage current. At higher temperature, this leakage current increases due to increase in thermal energy.
